Bronze bookmark with glass paste putto cameo
The glass paste, worked according to ancient techniques handed down by Murano’s master glassmakers, gives depth and refinement to the image, evoking the style of neoclassical cameos.
The manual workmanship of the bronze and the quality of the decoration make each piece unique, an expression of the continuous aesthetic research of Bortoletti and his master craftsmen.
This bookmark is not only a functional item, but a true stylish addition, perfect for those who like to surround themselves with elegant and sophisticated details.
Vitreous paste has its origins in antiquity, with finds dating back to the fourth millennium B.C. and characterized by its opaque and richly colored appearance. Formerly called ‘glazing,’ this technique is now reinterpreted in Bortoletti workshops to create exclusive objects inspired by tradition.
A valuable and distinctive gift idea, ideal for a refined audience and lovers of Venetian art.
